so i learned something new today... i just bought this book Captivating... Am bugged me about reading... she's in love w/ it... and has given me some great quotes that really just... blessed me... so i finally bought it.

anyways... i was reading it... and i breifly said something about how girls connect their self-worth with the relationships they are in... and the quality of those relationships... it said something like "doubt it? just mess w/ a woman's husband, children, family, or friends" and it suddenly made me realize how true that is... i'm soo pretective of my relationships. (i mean... i said something about it in my interests a week or so ago.)... i can't stand it when people dawg the ones i love most. and then it made me realize that this is a reason why so many girls are so wounded... b/c maybe someone they loved and trusted broke that trust... or maybe they don't have many true relationships... and in both cases (and many others) they're wracking their brains and searching their hearts trying to figure out what they did wrong. i think that's one reason why we as girls find it so easy to put up walls... we try so hard to be strong and shut people out so they can't really love us... and we won't risk being hurt. the sad thing is that there's one relationship that should be held above all in our self-worth... one that allows all the other relationships to fall into place... the one relationship that we tend to neglect... our relationship w/ God. we tend to forget that He's the only One that can complete us the way that we're looking for... everyone that we love or will love on this is earth is an imperfect being... like us they will make mistakes... they may even fail us a time or two... but if we're sticking close to God... and guarding that relationship above all... we'll live through any pain that we may feel... and we'll come out better for it. i don't know about yours... but my heart holds many scars of the past... but in God's eyes... it's the most beautiful thing to behold... He sees it trash and all... yet He still wants it for His own. what an awesome thought! ~Hope
